The PSVR 2 is finally on sale – with $100 off

PlayStation fans, today is the day. If like me, you've been waiting patiently for the PSVR 2 headset to drop down in price then I'm happy to report that the VR headset is now only $449 at Best Buy down from $549. That's a $100 saving and the cheapest it has ever been since launching in February 2023.
I have to be honest, I rented the PlayStation VR2 headset for a couple of weeks not long ago and while the headset itself is a fantastic bit of gear that represents next-gen virtual reality, there was an underwhelming lack of games that I desired to play on it in comparison with the original Playstation VR model.
On the plus side, this headset is much easier to set up and use, with only one cable to worry about instead of the plethora of wires that previous PSVR users will be familiar with. Although, it doesn't have quite the same sleek and wireless set-up as the Meta Quest 3, which is a serious rival. If that hasn't put you off too much, we hope this deal can help you save –and once you've completed the purchase, check out our guide to the best PSVR 2 games.

Review Consensus: We reviewed the PSVR 2 back in March 2023, when it first launched, and found it to be expensive but a worthy investment for gamers who desire quality. With that said, we found that it does cause some serious motion sickness (especially on Epic rollercoasters) and there aren't enough available or enticing games to compete with Meta's catalogue of titles.
